Leatherback sea turtles are not extinct, but they are critically endangered. They are often caught in commercial nets. There are safety devices in many of these nets to allow sea turtles to escape, but leatherbacks are so huge, that the adults often cannot fit through the escape (known as a turtle excluder device).
Another problem is that they sometimes ingest garbage that resembles other foods. This can cause a fatal blockage.
